Boomers can be an economic boon

Apr. 26, 2008 Overview: “Southwest Florida businesses are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the aging baby boomer marketplace, thanks to regional demographics, high levels of education and wealth concentration.”

Last year, single women made 21 percent of home purchases; 12 percent were made by signle men according to the NAR 2007 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers.

91% of home buying decisions are controlled by women per a Harvard study.

The “boomers” are coming…  and a significant percentage want to retire to Florida.

One in 16 American households is buying a home this year. Source NAR.
